In ‘Musical Presentation,’ six works will be read or key scenes will be demonstrated.
Additionally, various exchange events such as one-on-one business consultations and investment meetings, as well as academic conferences and roundtable discussions, and lectures by overseas experts aimed at discovering and nurturing next-generation musical directors will be held to discuss ways to attract domestic and international investment in Korean musicals and to promote overseas expansion.
In particular, prominent musical producers currently active in the English-speaking world, including Cody Lassen, Jack M. Dalgleish, Jane Bergere, and Chris Grady, will be invited to enhance the understanding of domestic production companies seeking overseas expansion and to support securing overseas networks.
